Where South Shore Homes Finally Get the Space (and Style) They Deserve
Tottenville is the end of the line in the best way: big lawns, wide streets, the ocean breeze rolling off Raritan Bay, and houses where block parties still happen every July. Your flat should feel just as roomy and laid-back as the neighborhood. Too many co-ops on Amboy Road, classic colonials turned condos near Conference House Park, and brick six-families off Hylan are still rocking 1980s oak cabinets, bathrooms the size of closets, and walls that make every room feel smaller than it is.
For over 37 years, Zicklin Contracting has been the flat renovation contractor Tottenville families call when they’re done squeezing around a tiny table and ready for a home that fits the whole crew—plus cousins on Sunday.
We Know Tottenville Like the Backyard We Grew Up In
We’ve gutted river-view co-ops on Bentley Street, opened railroad flats off Main Street, and modernized corner units with wraparound porches near the old train station. We know the raised foundations that need special waterproofing, the steam boilers you’re not allowed to touch, and exactly how thick the alteration package has to be for the boards at Surfside Gardens, Seaview Estates, or the smaller co-ops on Craig Avenue. Our crews have hauled 16-foot quartz islands through backyards (because the front steps were too narrow) and installed impact windows that laugh at nor’easters while keeping every original hardwood plank alive.
Our Clean, No-Drama Process
How It Really Goes Down in Tottenville Buildings
Free In-Home Visit – We come to your flat (yes, we’ll drive all the way down Hylan if we have to) and talk about how your family really lives.
Design & Board Package – Detailed plans, 3D renderings, material samples, and full co-op/condo submissions. We handle DOB and every signature.
Site Protection – Dust walls, padded stairs, and work hours that don’t wake the neighbors before their coffee.
Expert Construction – Daily supervision, evening cleanups, and photo updates so you always know what’s next.
Final Party – Deep clean, punch-list walkthrough, and a multi-year warranty that actually matters.
